My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 287 - 288: Brazenly Domineering

Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Brazenly Domineering

He calmed down when he thought of his father’s fondness for Chu Nanli.

Ye Yunting spoke firmly, "Aren’t you skilled in medicine? Go in and treat Yingying now. As long as Yingying wakes up, I will not hold you accountable!"

"My master once taught me not to treat those with ill intentions."

Chu Nanli remained indifferent to his anger.

The last time she agreed to treat Bai Wuheng, it was conditional.

Otherwise, she would not have saved such a person.

Moreover, Lin Fuying was obviously trying to frame her now.

Even if she was willing to treat, would Lin Fuying cooperate?

"Chu Nanli, how can you be so selfish?" Ye Yunting looked at Chu Nanli coldly, his tone even carrying a bit of accusation.

In the past, a single word from him was enough for Chu Nanli to offer everything without hesitation.

How had it come to this?

Ye Yunting had not yet realized that the Chu Nanli in front of him had long since become a completely different person.

"In the Prince’s heart, haven’t I always been like this?"

Chu Nanli was still a bit uncomfortable, and her look towards Ye Yunting also carried some impatience.

It seemed she would not be able to discuss the matter of separation with Ye Yunting today.

"Come with me now, and let’s treat Yingying first!"

Ye Yunting, regardless of the consequences, was about to pull Chu Nanli in.

She quickly dodged, and in the chaos, she did not forget to protect her stomach to avoid bumping into something accidentally.

Fortunately, at this time, the crown prince’s wife had already summoned a female physician.

Following behind the physician, who came in, was Zhuang Muyan, representing the Zhuang Family.

Seeing Zhuang Muyan, Ye Yunting’s face darkened again.

Why had this man come?

Even though Chu Nanli had mentioned many times that her relationship with Zhuang Muyan was purely that of master and disciple,

Ye Yunting still refused to believe it.

Zhuang Muyan, a grown man, constantly following behind his Princess Consort, calling out ’master’—how is this proper?

"The physician is already here, why does the Prince still eagerly watch my master? My master treats His Majesty in the palace," said Zhuang Muyan.

"Her, in the house, she deserves it?"

As Ye Yunting was about to erupt, Zhuang Muyan immediately countered with another high hat.

"Surely the Prince isn’t suggesting that your Concubine’s health is more precious than His Majesty’s?"

"Nonsense!"

Of course, Ye Yunting wouldn’t admit it, as such words, if heard by his father, would surely anger him.

He stopped talking to Zhuang Muyan, but he also didn’t ask Chu Nanli to leave.

Soon, the female physician came out and announced that Lin Fuying had awakened.

"Come inside with me!" Ye Yunting demanded authoritatively, leaving no room for refusal.

Zhuang Muyan was naturally worried, but given his status, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to follow them inside.

All he could do was whisper to Chu Nanli, "Master, I’ll wait outside. If you need anything, just call out to me!"

Though he spoke softly, Ye Yunting’s keen hearing was not something ordinary people could match.

Hearing this, his demeanor grew even colder.

Of course, Chu Nanli did not care about his thoughts at that moment.

After they went inside, the female physician spoke, "Prince, the Concubine has been poisoned, but fortunately, she didn’t ingest much poison and vomited it out in time. She is now out of danger."

"Poisoned? At a banquet in the Duke Residence, who would poison someone?"

Ye Yunting’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

Yingying had always been kind to others; why would someone want to harm her?

"Where was the poison placed?"

"Replying to the Prince, according to the timing of the Concubine’s poisoning, the poison was likely placed in the pastries that the Concubine ate."

As soon as the physician finished speaking, Xiaoyun exclaimed in shock, "Concubine, wasn’t that tray of pastries delivered only after the Princess Consort had left and then returned?"

Lin Fuying looked over as well, "Sister, can you really not tolerate me to this extent?"

"Today, I sincerely wanted to apologize to you and ask you to move back to the Prince Residence. You can be angry, you can hit me or scold me; even if it means poisoning me, I am willing!"

"I only ask you to come back to Yunting’s side, please?"

Her expression carried a mix of three parts grievance and three parts sorrow, perfectly resembling a delicate flower being bullied.

If this incident had involved someone else, Ye Yunting might have had suspicions.

But he had already been blinded by Lin Fuying’s façade, completely missing the mismatch in the situation.

"Chu Nanli, how can you be so malicious!"

He looked coldly at Chu Nanli; her exceptional medical skills, once revealed, now seemed in his eyes evidence of her capacity to poison.

"No wonder, just now when I asked you to treat Yingying, you were reluctant, probably already harboring such intentions!"

He believed that Lin Fuying was always obedient and agreeable.

She was even willing to humble herself to persuade Chu Nanli.

He had never imagined that Chu Nanli could be so vicious!

Seeing Ye Yunting’s anger, a hint of triumph quickly flitted across Lin Fuying’s eyes.

She had purposefully poisoned the pastries to frame Chu Nanli.

Now with Ye Yunting’s misunderstanding deepened, she refused to believe that Ye Yunting would allow Chu Nanli to return!

Even if Chu Nanli had learned the tactic of enticing by retreating, so what?

A small plan was all it took to pull Ye Yunting’s heart back.

"This is the Duke Residence, after all. To poison here, would my brain be damaged?"

Chu Nanli looked at the two before her, finding the situation rather amusing.

The whole reason she had moved out was to avoid exactly this kind of scene, wasn’t it?

If this happened a few more times, she might not even survive.

"Brother Yunting, I also think that it certainly wasn’t Sister’s fault." Lin Fuying seemed to be persuading, but in reality, she was adding fuel to the fire.

"Sister had only left for a brief moment, how could she have possibly poisoned me? Even if Sister dislikes me, she wouldn’t resort to such means."

"Perhaps the real poisoner is someone else."

Lin Fuying’s words actually woke Ye Yunting up, "If you say you didn’t poison Yingying, then what was the reason for your departure just now?"

"Going out for some fresh air, is that not allowed?"

Chu Nanli didn’t plan to explain too much to Ye Yunting.

In front of his good sister, whatever she said was wrong.

Framing and entrapment by Lin Fuying wouldn’t be that easy.

Soon enough, the wife of the duke’s heir heard about the matter and had already sent over the problematic tray of pastries.

However, because of Lin Fuying’s performance earlier, she had already treated the matter as an internal issue of the War King Residence.

On one side was the favored Concubine, on the other, the legitimate Princess Consort.

Nobody wanted to get involved in such a troublesome affair.

"Cough cough, Brother Yunting, perhaps we should just let this matter go."
